The Merc FP seems to be way overpowered. I believe the recent FAQ clarified that it did affect ALL defensive modifiers (there's an arguement to say that cards come into effect before pilots and gear so gear like Evade and any Pilot Defence modifier could have been retained - never mind).
I was looking at capitalizing on the Merc FP but in order to pay for the 5/150, you're limited to Mercs and Wolf Hunters. If you add anything else to the mix, you'll pay the 10/150 and are likely to be down on anyone that plays True Grit.
One army that would seem to be a nice Cheese Combo would be:
Jack Nightstalker 149
Julz Kolchak (LE Version - no recruit) 27
Merc Kelswa 104
WH R10 ICV 42
Merc Paladin 73
WH Minigun Cycle x 4 40
Merc FP 15
The idea is to capitalize on Jules' Forward Observer ability and allow the Kelswa to TD through blocking.
If your opponent cancels the blocking, you've got a decent TD range that can be boosted by having Jules within 6 inches of the target and your Paladin may well get a clear LOS.
The Paladin and Miniguns were put in to provide a defensive option where the Kelswa guards the DZ and the Miniguns shield the arty piece. If the first blocking is placed correctly, the Paladin can also shoot through it if your opponent tries to use it as cover.

oh have we said that yet?
